Ok no more Mercs for me...<br />Just bought a 1989 Evinrude 110 hp<br />need to overhaual, carbs, new water pump and thermostat.<br />Is there any surprise's in store or are these engines as nice to work on as they look?<br />Any advice from you pro's would be great before i dive into it.<br />Thanks<br />Jeff

Welcome to iboats. Well your best bet right off would be to get a service manual before you do anything, that way you will definitely not run into any surprises. But the carbs and waterpump are pretty straight forward and easy, provided you don't have any seized bolts on the lower unit.

The manual is a must, with ANY engine.<br /><br />THe only thing that is a bit tricky is getting the thermostats out. It's allot easier if you drop the lower cowl pan.

I am on the hunt for a manual as we speak.<br />I did a compression test before buying this motor it was 110 105 109 109<br />what about all the stories I hear about unhooking the oil injection?<br />what’s the opinion of you guys on that?
